Difference between Intel socket A and socket 370. I'm able to understand links you provide.

Hi,
I upgrade Dell desktop PIII (not servers).

I buy CPU's thru Ebay auctions or Stores.

I've come across socket A & Socket 370 CPU's.
I've been buying Socket A.

I would like to know if there is a difference.

I want to use the OEM MOBO's or replace with an upgrade,
but like to use the older hardware like the PC-100 & PC-133 RAM
collection that I have, plus the lower poweded P/S, etc.

So constricted to those CPU's for DEll.
I use Re-install M/S CD-ROMs so have to stay with DEll for assurance.

Thanks,
Jim

And drop in some Cyrix chips as well to round Socket 7 off.
